FossilDAWG Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 I'm seeing some sort of a burrow (trace fossil). What features make you think this is a coral? Also what is the age or geological context of the specimen? Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aminofsqui Posted April 20, 2014 Author Share Posted April 20, 2014 (edited) I don't have any idea. I have just found echinoids and bivalves in the same rock. Edited April 20, 2014 by aminofsqui Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auspex Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 I don't have any idea. I have just found echinoids and bivalves in the same rock. DSCN0204.JPG The other fossils seem to be Eocene, or abouts. If this is actually the same rock, then it should be also.

aminofsqui Posted April 20, 2014 Author Share Posted April 20, 2014 Are you talking about the Foraminifera in my previous topic ? It might be the same stratum since I found both of them almost in the same place but I took this photo yesterday while I collected the Echinoid with the Formnifera 4 years ago !

Auspex Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 Is it a burrow ? Yes, that is what it appears to be.

Herb Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 looks like a burrow to me also.
